■THE SCHOOL BULLETIN PUBLICATIONS, 



Books on Methods of Teaching. 

1. On the Province of Methods of Teaching. By J. H. Hoose. Cloth, 16mo, 
pp. 376. Sl-00. 

Col. Parker calls this " the best book for study ever written by an Ameri- 
can." Commissioner Wm. T. Harris says: *'I consider your position to be 
eminently sound, and your views everywhere thoughtful and suggestive of 
thought, and as such a work I hope to see it in the hands of all the teachers 
of our land." F. Louis Soldan says : " The author has given us a most val- 
uable work, which will introduce the student to a deeper insight into the his- 
tory of education." 

S. The School Room Guide, embodying the instruction given by the author 
at Teachers' Institutes in New York and others States, and especially in- 
tended to asssist Public School Teachers in the Practical Work of the School- 
Room. By E. V. DeGkaff. Seventieth edition., with many additions and 
corrections. Cloth, ICmo, pp. 350. Price $1.50. 

As distinguished from others of the modern standards, this is a book of 
metJiods instead of theories. It tells the teacher just what to do and how to 
do it ; and it has proved more practically helpful in the school-room than 
any other book ever issued. 

S. Methods in Common Brandies. A book for the Common School Teach- 
er. By C. B. Van Wie. Cloth, 16mo, pp. 197. 75 cts. 

This treats of Method in Education, and Methods in Arithmetic, Lan- 
guage, Geogi-aphy, U. S. History, Physiology, Practical Talks, etc. It is re- 
cently published and very practical. 

L Development Helps. By C. B. Van Wie. Leatherette, 16mo, pp. 91. 
50 cts. 

This is divided into two parts: I. The Learner ; II. The Lessons. It puts 
teaching on a psychological basis from the first. 

5. Object Lessons, or Words and Things. By T. G. Eoopee, author of "A 
Pot of Green Feathers." Leatherette, 16mo, pp. 56. 50 cts. 

This little work is at once philosophical and practical. It gives the basis 
on which the theory of object-teaching rests, adds hints as to how it may 
be made useful, and then gives a lesson on The Duck, which for interest 
and suggestiveness has nowhere been equalled. 

6. The Limits of Oral Teaching. By John W. Dickinson. Paper, 16mo, 
pp. 24. 15 cts. 

This has for years been regarded as the standard authority on this sub- 
ject. 

7. Mistakes in Teaching. By James L. Hughes, Cloth, 16mo, pp. 135. 
50 cts. 

8. How to Secure and Retain Attention. By James L. Hughes. Cloth, 
16mo, pp. 98. 50 cts. 

9. The Art of Securing Attention. By J. G. Pitch. Paper, 16mo, pp. 43. 
15 cts. 

10. The Art of Questioning. By J. G. Fitch. Paper, 16mo, pp. 36. 15 cts.

, In preparing these questions on Geography, the de- 
sign has been to include only those subjects that are 
essential. It is a common and perhaps well-founded 
belief that too much time is given to the subject of 
Geography in our common schools ; particularly on 
many points of little importance, that are forgotten 
almost as soon as learned. It is believed that this lit- 
tle book contains all the questions necessary for general 
reviews, and in preparation for the Regents' Exami- 
nations. 

The questions can be used with any one of the Geog- 
raphies recently published. In this fourth edition the 
questions are numbered consecutively instead of by 
subjects.

Books for Teaching Geography. 

1. Descriptive Geography taught by means of Map-Drawing. By Eva D. 
WiLKiNS, Boards, 4to. 

(ff) Map Draiving Book of the Continents, pp. 48, with 18 pages of Draw-

ing Paper, 75 cts. 

(c) Teachers'' Edition for both the above, pp. 129, with 49 Maps, mostly full- 
page, $1.50. 

Sorae reasons why this method has been successful are : (1) the pupils 
learn by seeing and doing, (2) they learn in class as well as tell what they 
have learned, and (3) they all work all the time of recitation. A judicious selec- 
tion from a mass of material is found to produce a much better result than 
to produce a mass and then make a selection. The teacher, relieved from 
the necessity of driving to get through, may have leisure to give special les- 
sons on places brought into prominence by public interest, or to give compo- 
sition work on the great cities or on sorae country of historic interest. 

Prof. Freeman, of th-e Fredonia State Normal, says : 

"Her books have long been used in my department of the Fredonia 
State Normal and Training School, and I k'noiv of nothing that could in any 
wise take their places tvith us. In other places where it has been tried it has 
met with abundant success."

describing any river, city, etc., draws 
it upon the map. If a mistake is 
made it is erased without erasing the 
outlines. (2) Reviews or examina- 
tions are made by having the pupil 
show on one of these maps all he 
knows of the country. The teacher glances at the result, erases mistakes, 
and has the pupil replace correctly. All is erased, and another pupil is set at 
work while the class proceeds with the regular lesson. (3) By different color- 
ings the elevations or any physical features of different sections are easily and 
quickly shown. In the same way a geological map may be made. (4.) His- 
torical maps may be quickly sketched, showing only the features needed. 

2. Relief Maps. By Burgi Brothers. Switzerland, (a) llxlT^^; $3.50 ; (6) 
23 X 34, $10.00, {c) Palestine, 19 x 32, $10.00, {d) United States, 48 x 42, $100.00. 

These are beautifully made and colored, sho\sing physical as well as 
political features. Many teachers think geogi-aphy should be taught only 
from relief maps, and all agree that they are of great utility. 

3. Geographical Cards, with Topics and Questions, (a) Part I. Physical 
Geography and North America, 100 cards, 314 x 5^4 inches, 50 cts. ; {b) Part II. 
The Rest of the World, 100 cards, 50 cts., or, (c) Complete, 200 cards, $1.00. 

These cards are intended to accompany any text-book in Geography. The 
topics and questions emphasize a necessity for thorough knowledge of com- 
mercial relations, exports, imports, routes of travel, expense of transporta- 
tion : in fact, the cards deal with the Essentials of Geography, omitting that 
which is of little or no importance. The topics are suggestive rather than 
exhaustive. ^^ A set of these Cards will save the teacher many needless hours 
of study and research, by preserilng classified memoranda in compact fonn. 

h. Geographical Game. "Our Country" for Home and School, 100 
cards, 2^ x .3% inches, 50 cts. Will double the pupils' interest. 

5. Outnne Topics Cards in Geography. Per package of 12 cards, 5J^ x 6 
inches 15 cts. Topics for the Continent on one side, for the State the other.

These are of course an indispensable preparation for the Regents' Ex- 
aminations, and have been used for fifteen years in most of the Regents' 
schools. 

k. Begents'' Selections in Literature. Selections for Repetition frcm 
Memory at the Examinations conducted by the Regents of the University of 
the State of New York, in connection with the courses in American, German, 
and French Literature. Leatherette, 16mo, pp. 56. 25 cts. 

These selections were oflacially prepared in the Regents' office, and pub- 
lished under the direction of Mr. James Russell Parsons, Jr. Besides then- 
special purpose, they will be found admirable for use in all classes. 

5. Ferieio Problems in Arithmetic for Schools under the supervision of 
the Regents. By ]\Ii's. Jennie B. Pkentice. Paper, l6mo, pp. 96. 20 cts. 

6. Beriew Questions in Geography for Schools under the supervision of 
the Regents. By Mrs. Jennie B. Prentice. Paper, 16mo, pp. 48. 15 cts. 

These books have been prepared to supplement the published books of 
Regents' Questions, and afford an admirable drill in these subjects. Not a 
single problem in the first can be found in any published arithmetic, and 
very few questions in geography have ever been asked by the Regents that 
are not to be found in the second. 

7. Elemental^/ English. Prepared with reference to the Regents' Ex-

By George M. Smith. Price 50 cts. 

In the study of modern languages, even when carried on the countries 
■where they are spokeia, the author has found that substantial progress has 
been made only by committing to memory long lists of words. The attempt 
in this way to secure a thorough knowledge of Caesar's vocabulary has led 
to this little book. 

5. Conspiracy of the Helvetians. Five chapters of Caesar's Gallic War. 
For use in First -Year Latin Classes, especially in Regents' Schools. Con- 
taining Special Vocabulary, Exercises in Latin Composition, Idioms, and Ir-

Books for New York Schools. 

A Bnef History of the Empire State, for Schools and Families. By Wei/- 
LAND Hendrick, A.M. Cloth. small 4to, pp. 201. 75 cents. 

This book has proved one of the great successes, more than one hundred 
schools having officially adopted it during the school year 1891-93. On 
petitidn of the principals of Regents' schools this subject has been made a 
part of the Regents' course of study, with special questions in the examina- 
tions, and the Department of Public Instruction gives it five counts at the 
examinations for State certificates. Whether used as a history, or as a sup- 
plementary reading-book, it has given universal satisfaction, and it is to-day 
the most popular text-book in every school where it is used. Do not think 
the village and city schools alone can use it. The smallest district school 
may buy half a dozen copies for its largest reading-class with profit, for 
when that class reads, every other scholar in school will listen. This is a day 
when New York histoi'y is coming to the front, and intelligent teachers will 
see to it that their schools keep up with the procession. 

3. Ciril Government for Common Schools, prepared as a manual for 
public instruction in the Sifate of New York. To which are appended the 
Constitution of the State of New York as amended at the election of 1882, 
the Constitution of the United States, and the Declaration of Independence, 
etc., etc. By Henry C. Northam. 16mo. cloth, pp. 220. 75 cts. 

Whether it was that this book was made because the time demanded it, 
or that the publication of a book which made the teaching of Civil Govern- 
ment practicable led to a general desire that it should be taught, certain it 
is that this subject, formerly regarded as a " finishing " branch in the high 
school, is now found on every teacher's examination paper, and is common- 
ly taught in district schools. Equally certain is it that in the State of New 
York this text-book is used more than all others combined, while the special 
edition prepared for Missouri was exhausted in a month. 

3. A Chart of Civil Government. By Charles T. Pooler. Sheets 12x18, 
5 cts. The same folded for the pocket, in cloth covers, 25 cts. 

Some commissioners have purchased these charts by the hundred and 
presented one to every school house in the county. 

U. Common School Laio for Common School Teachers. A digest of the 
provisions of statute and common law as to the Relations of the Teacher to 
the Pupil, the Parent, and the District. With 500 references to legal decis- 
ions in 28 different titates 16th edition, with Introduction for School Trus- 
tees, containing the most important General Provisions of the School Law- 
By C. W. Bardeen. 16mo, cloth, pp. 166. 75 cts. 

This has been since 1875 the standard authority upon the teacher's rela- 
tions, and is frequently quoted in legal decisions. The new edition is much 
more complete than its predecessors, 

5. Laws of Neiv York relating to Common Schools, with Comments and 
Instructions, and a digest of Decisions. Svo, leather, pp. 807. $4.00. 

This is what is known as " The New Code of 1888," and contains all re- 
visions of the State school-law to date.

moes. Leatherette, 16mo, pp. 32. 35 cts.

14 or -iO weeks, as desired, with additional lines for summary, examina-

pupil takes home vrlth him the witness of his daily conduct and progress.

prizes which children will cherish. The Single Merits and Half IMerits are

h. The School Room Chomis., containing all the songs in the Song Budget 
and as many more. Boards, small 4to, pp. 147. 35 cts. 

Of the Song Budget, first published in 1876, 186,000 copies have been sold, 
and more copies last year than any previous year. Of the Song Century, 
first published in 1888, 64,000 copies have been sold, the sale last year having 
for the first time equalled that of the School Budget. The distinguishing 
features of the Song Budget Music Series have been meant to be these : 

1st, To give a good deal for the money. Each of the books is sold at 
15 cts., though containing as much as the usual 50-cent books. We publish 
editions of all of them in boards at 25 cts., but the great sale has been for 
the 15-cent edition that everybody could afford. Tens of thousands have 
been sold for institutes and other gatherings vi^here an expensive book 
could not have been afforded. 

2d, To give only the best music. No two persons could agree which are 
the hundred best songs ever written, but any person who will check from 
the combined table of contents we send free the songs that he thinks ought 
to rank among the first hundred will find when he has gone through the 
list that he has nearly the hundred checked. The cost of copyright has 
never been allowed to stand in the way of really desirable songs, and large 
sums have been paid for the right to use the songs. , 

3d, To give music just as it was written. The school song-books of 
twenty years ago gave the harmony "simplified." The authors had in view 
the self-taught country girl picking melodies out upon a cheap instrument, 
and assumed that she would stumble over any chords except the tonic, the 
dominant, and the subdominant. So operatic and other airs of which the 
great beauty lay in the harmonies of the accompaniment were given with 
"simplified" chords, and in that form have been sung so much that the orig- 
inal setting has been forgotten. In the Song Budget Series, every piece, so 
far as possible, has been harmonized directly from the original ; and while 
the setting is uniformly in four parts, which makes the playing easy for those 
unused to intricate accompaniments, the harmonies have been restored, and 
the music made infintely richer. Many a cabinet-organist who has sought 
in vain for a "Lost Chord" will find it and delight in it here. 

4th, To give only songs that are strong, healthful, helpful, both in music 
and in words. There is no sickly sentimentality in the Song Budget Series. 
Life is real, life is earnest in these songs t and it is happy, too. Pathetic 
songs may be found here, for the youthful mind craves the sweet sorrow 
of pathetic contemplation. But the pathos is always real, and always offers 
helpful suggestion. Nothing mawkish, nothing of strained or affected 
emotion will be found in any of these books. Send 15 cts. for one as a 
specimen.

Books on School Management. 

1. Hand Book for Young Teachers. By H. B. Btickham, formerly princi- 
pal of the State Normal School at Buffalo. Cloth, 16mo, pp. 152. Price 75 cts. 

This is emphatically a book for beginners, and it is a book -svithout which 
no teacher should undertake a first terra at school. The following com-, 
mendations will show that it is a book the teacher cannot afford to do 
without. 

If there be another book to compare with it in practical usefulness we 
have not seen it.— Public School Journal. 

I thank you for a copy of Mr. Buckham's book. I am willing to vouch 
for it without examination, knowing the author as I do. We shall doubtless 
want a number of copies for our classes.— Principal E. A. Sheldon, Oswego. 

It is a work of great value to the young and inexperienced teacher. It 
discusses the principles of the teacher's art in a manner which is at once 
simple and practical, without attempting to give a metaphysical discussion 
of them. I am sincerely glad Professor Buckham has undertaken tins work, 
and I feel sure it will be appreciated by teachers throughout the country.— 
President W. J. Milne, New York State Normal College. 

Admirably adapted to direct and help young teachers in organi;iing and 
managing a school. It is full of plain, pointed, and practical suggestions. 
* * * For the use I have spoken of I do not know of its equal. —Principal 
F. B. Palmer, Fredonia Normal. 

A model of condensation and hard sense, and a thoroughly trustworthy 
guide for the beginners in educational work.— /oi^a Normal Monihi,y. 

'Z. Thi School lioom Guide, embodjing the instruction given by the author 
at Teacheys' Institutes in New York and other States, and especially in- 
tended to asssist Public School Teachers in the Practical Woik of the School- 
Eoom. By E. V. DeGrafp. Seventieth edition, with many additions and 
corrections. Cloth, IGmo, pp. 350. Price $1.50, 

As distinguished from others of the modem standards, this is a book of 
pj'actical helps instead of theories. It tells the teacher just what to do and 
how to do it ; and it has proved more practically helpful in the school-room 
than any other book ever issued. 

S. A Primer of ScJiool MoMagement. Manilla, 16mo, pp. 45. 25 cts. 

This is a chapter from the The School Boom Guide, and will be valuable 
to those unable to purchase the complete book. 

U. Mistakes in Teaching. By James L. Hughes. American edition, with 
contents and index. Cloth, 16mo, pp. 135. Price 50 cts. 

More than 15,000 have been used in the county institutes of Iowa, and 
elsewhere superintendents often choose this book for their less thoughtful 
teachers, assured that its pungent style and chatty treatment will aiTest 
attention and produce good results. 

5. A Qviz-Booh on the Theory and Practice of Teaching. Ey A. P 
SouTHwicK, author of the " Dime Question Books." 12mo, pp. 220. $1.00.

Commissioner of Education, who says of it : 

" The idea of ' apperception ' is the most important fruit thus far de-

The Journal of Pedagogy says (April, 1889) : " Some of the greatest ques- 
tions relating to primary education can be solved by an accurate observation 
and correct interprecation of the infant mind, and as the author of this vol- 
ume combines the proper qualifications for the work with ample opportun- 
ity, his observations and deductions are entitled to the highest confidence."
